An experienced driver in the Italian lower formulae, he also participated in three Formula One Italian Grands Prix from 1964 to 1966, failing to qualify for the 1964 race, driving a Brabham for Rob Walker.

However, he was a four-time Italian Formula Three series champion, winning consecutive championships from 1961 to 1964.

After an accident involving Beat Fehr, Andrea Saltari and Franco Foresti, Fehr ran down the track to warn the oncoming racers of the damaged cars and oil on the track ahead.

The next group of cars included Geki, Massimo Natili, Jürg Dubler, Romano "Tiger" Perdomi and Corrado Manfredini who were unable to avoid colliding with the wreckage on the track.

Fehr was struck by one of the cars and was also killed, and Perdomi died in hospital eight days later.
